Disney Orders More ‘Montana,’ ‘Suite Life on Deck’
Disney Channel has ordered additional episodes for the third season of “Hannah Montana” in addition to ordering a second season of its new series “The Suite Life on Deck.”
“Montana,” starring teen sensation Miley Cyrus, is the top basic-cable series among viewers 6-11 and 9-14 during the fourth quarter of 2008. The show also is the top-scripted series in basic cable among total viewers.
“Deck,” a spinoff from the popular Disney Channel series “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” ranks as the second most popular show among viewers 6-11 and third in viewers 9-14 in the fourth quarter of 2008. “Deck” also ranks as the third most-watched scripted series in basic-cable TV in total viewers.
“The talent behind ‘Hannah Montana’ has made it a true global sensation and cultural icon not just on television, where it topped the ratings on Disney Channels around the globe, but as a chart-topping music act and beyond,” said Gary Marsh, Disney Channels Worldwide president of entertainment. “It has become part of the global cultural lexicon for kids.”
“We’re thrilled with the extraordinary performance of our newest series ‘The Suite Life on Deck’ in the U.S. and globally, and we look forward to telling more great stories with this talented cast and production team,” Mr. Marsh added.

Yay!
ACK!
I can see Mylie's popularity ... but Sweet Life - my Gosh that (both incarnations) is Gawd Aweful!
I'd think (hoped that) Brenda Song would be afraid of being type-cast for the rest of her life and not follow to the high-seas... oh well.
I'd say money talks - but she isn't seeing it. Her publicist/manager and more importantly her parents seem to just be milking her rather than looking out for her best interests...
I wonder if the viewership is in such high numbers because they play all three shows repetivily for almost 24 hours a day ... or so it seems that often .... like a nightmare.
Watch Nick - it is not as insulting to your kids intellegence as Disney is.
Wack
Ack is completely wrong! I spotted about ten spelling and grammar mistakes in his/her post which means that Nick is probably "insulting to kids intelligence" as well. While I think it's great that these shows are doing well, kids should read more books. Maybe then they will be able to be more eloquent.
